Really I thought a solenoid is a solenoid. It opens and nitrous goes through.
IF that were the case I wouldn't have spent HUGE sums of money developing the X-10 Pulsoids;http://www.noswizard.com/x-10.phpNor would I have spent many times more in developing the worlds only variable nitrous/fuel control valves - the REVO's;http://www.noswizard.com/revo-nitrous.phpNylon maybe cheaper but it’s not as safe.
WRONG - It's MUCH safer and I have 35 YEARS of experience of using both braided and nylon to back that statement up.
You can learn ALL the advantages of nylon and disadvantages of braided here;
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=151 All top racing cars I have seen use braided.
That's because of the following reasons ONLY;
1) The rules of racing (which were CONCOCTED some 40 or so years ago), stipulate only braided. Since suitable nylon hose was not available way back then, such a rule is obviously outdated but as ALL race authorities are lead like sheep by the all powerful NHRA and as they are strongly influenced by sponsors who have vested interest in keeping things as they've been for the past 40 plus years, it's not easy to open their eyes or change their thinking and rules so they are pertinent NOW.
2) Most serious race vehicles need large power increases and as 'current' nylon hose can only flow up to 150 HP it means that despite the fact that braided hose is JUNK, it's the ONLY stuff that will do the job, albeit badly.
3) Even if all the above weren't true, for the same reason you are using it (you've seen others using it), it would still be more common that nylon, because most people think with their eyes not their brain, so as you pointed out braided LOOKS GOOD, so people will buy and use it regardless of how dangerous it is. Nylon has its benefits I am aware of them but not for me I’ll stick with braided thanks.
You loss not mine both from a performance perspective and cost. Plus it looks nice
And that statement sums up EVERYTHING that braided has to offer.Engine mapping is my forte so no problem here. I’ll start off very rich then lean off a bit but to be honest no harm in wasting fuel to keep the NOS/Fuel ratio rich, rich mixture will be good and safe without any real power lose. My engine is already mapped so I can just percentage increase the fuel over the base map when I press the button and work from there. I’ll pull out 2 degrees of timing with a 50 BHP shot.
That's one way of doing it as long as you know where to start from and that still requires the appropriate calculations.
BTW is this a turbo bike? If so you're going to have distribution problems with a single nitrous nozzle in a dry format. If you can supply me with a cheap kit minus the bottle then let me know I need:
Bottle Valve M25 x 2 ISO
Bottle Pressure Gauge
Adjustable pressure switch (to tell ECU when the bottle is low/empty)
NOS solenoid
NOS injector
25BHP, 50BHP & 75BHP Jets
All our systems are VERY cheap when you fully appraise what you get for your money but if the best performance, the best quality and the most reliable products aren't a priority to you, then I doubt you'll appreciate that statement.
If you ever decide those factors are more important than how little you pay for a product or you appreciate how much value you are getting for money spent on WON products, please feel free to complete our contacts page and Lisa will be happy to send you a quotation.
In the meantime I'll try to find you a used bottle. J
